Feasibility assessment of proposed solutions - current barrier(s) to adoption and recommended action to overcome barrier(s)

Ranking of solutions in terms of size of the opportunity (diversion potential, economic value, water conservation, GHG emissions reduction), and feasibility

Classify recommended solutions as ready-to-scale, ready-to-pilot, and need further research or technical validation

Coordinate with ReFED’s Multistakeholder Initiatives Director and Business Engagement Manager to ensure application in a ReFED working group context

Recommendations must also address sustainability trade-offs, particularly the challenge between packaging reduction and food waste prevention.

The final deliverable includes a packaging solutions Excel data set and a PowerPoint deck recommending the (1) top three packaging solutions that are proven, cost effective and scalable, (2) top three packaging solutions ready to pilot, and (3) top three packaging solutions requiring additional research or innovation. Each solution should include barriers and key stakeholders, as well as recommendations for next steps.
